Title: World 'Vatican' of Muslims.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30843 WORLD ‘VATICAN’ OF MUSLIMS CAIRO -- The Al Azhar University in Cairo, more than 1,000 years old, is the Islamic “equivalent” of the Vatican in Rome for Muslims, who make up the world’s largest organized non-Christian religion. Housed in the university is the Higher Council for Islamic Studies which is conducting a massive revival of Islamic culture in Africa and elsewhere. The Council co-sponsored a month-long first Pan-Islamic Congress at the University attended by some 100 Muslim leaders from 70 countries. It consists of 17 Egyptian and eight foreign ulemas (religious). Bottom photo shows Muslims kneeling in prayer to Allah. Muslims are followers of Muhammed (570-632), who announced himself as the prophet of Allah. In Africa, it has been estimated that there are about 100 million Muslims, as compared with some 60 million Christians. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (UAR-4B-64-NAB)

He conferred with Grand Sheikh Hassan Mamoun, Islam’s supreme religious figure, marking the first time that a Prince of the Church had been received by the spiritual head of the Al Azhar University. Cardinal Koenig was reported to have assured the Grand Sheikh that the Vatican Council’s draft declaration on the Jews had no political implications and was purely religious in character.
